Martin Slater Photography

I’ve been photographing my clients' special days for over 10 years now. Snapping this joyful event is such a fulfilling experience. It's truly the best job in the world, it's my passion! As a Wakefield and Yorkshire wedding photographer, I can travel to many great venues in and around these beautiful cities. Whether you're located in Yorkshire, Leeds, Sheffield or further afield, I can travel to photograph at your special day.

I have worked at a host of intimate venues throughout the North, West, South and East Riding of Yorkshire areas and beyond. Location should never be a problem; after all, it’s one of the most important aspects of any wedding!

Whatever the venue, your wedding day is something you’ll want to look back on for years to come and feel a sense of pride about that special day, a point in time when family and friends all come together to celebrate your union!

Some of the fantastic locations I have photographed at:

Waterton Park Hotel, Wakefield Allerton Castle, Allerton Mauleverer, North Yorkshire Hazlewood Castle, Tadcaster Applewood, Leeds Ripley Castle, Harrogate Carlton Towers, Snaith The Mansion, Leeds Holdsworth House, Halfiax Oulton Hall, Leeds Wentbridge House, Pontefract Rogerthorpe Manor, Pontefract Kings Croft, Pontefract The Tetley, Leeds Bagden Hall, Huddersfield Woodlands , Leeds and other wedding venues and locations across West Yorkshire and the Yorkshire area, and even as far as Templeton Building in Glasgow and Mallory Court Hotel, Warwickshire.

Why Choose me as your Wedding Photographer Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions a bride and groom can make. It’s often daunting and there is a lot to consider before arriving upon your final choice. You need to feel confident that your photographer will do an excellent job of capturing those moments – the fleeting instances that create a perfect story book wedding and an album that will be treasured forever.

My Photography Approach Your wedding day is all about you, and whenever a client chooses me to photograph at their wedding, I'm truly honoured. This is why I take the time to explain the process to you and speak with you beforehand to determine exactly what it is you want and your expectations. It won't all be business though, I like to spend some time getting to know you on a personal level. Nothing will be left to chance.

I want you to feel safe in the knowledge that I will be there to capture everything you need and produce images that will live forever in the eye and in the heart. My Photography Style My style is unobtrusive yet ever-present; I provide a fun, friendly service whilst being focused and professional. I approach every wedding with a natural and relaxed feel which enables me to get the best from you and your guests. I endeavour to put you, your family and your guests at ease and produce a living memory that you can return to time again and for the rest of your lives.

Wedding Albums A wedding album is more than just a set of images, it is a testimony to a love that is special between two people. I will provide you with a story of your wedding day with bespoke pictures, images that reflect your life and love. This will always be guided by you; my aim is to create pictures that are unique to you and your day and not just a copy of someone else’s.

Wedding Packages I offer custom packages to reflect your individual requirements. Together, we can create a wedding album that will act as a time machine to take you back to that special day.

You will pick your favourite pictures, and I’ll offer suggestions and guidance on images that will complement and show the full story of your day. A wedding album should capture not only memories, but also the personalities of everyone involved – the bride and groom, the best man, bridesmaids, your family and friends and all who come together to make it such a memorable day.

Details of my custom designed albums can be found in the Wedding Packages & Pricing section of my website. These are all made in careful consultation with you, allowing you to tailor the album to reflect your wedding day.

So.. What inspires me?...

My love of photography and the desire to capture those timeless moments in life that will be treasured forever. Being part of a couple's wedding day is one of the most important days of their lives and making sure that they have memories to remind them of their wonderful day. That gives me the best buzz in the world... I just love it!!

I first picked up a camera in my teens, and was immediately and completely bitten by the photography bug. As I gained more experience and my confidence soared, friends and family would ask me to photograph their weddings and family portraits. They were obviously pleased as my reputation grew simply by word of mouth. Over the years my client base has increased and my passion for photography is stronger than ever

From a very young age I realised that this was my destiny and ultimately my dream job. My family, friends, and most of all my son have encouraged me to follow my dreams. As my portfolio grew, I continually invested in training, new equipment and the latest technology. This is ever-changing and ongoing which enables me to give my clients the best results.

Aside from the technical aspects, I pride myself on never losing sight of the fact that every wedding is an individual, personal, and unique event. To be asked to photograph such a special day gives me the most amazing pleasure, capturing a real Moment of the Heart.
